Kluge

[Newton Hunt]

Kluge, pronounced Kluj, most like a colloquialism is a poorly engineered
thrown together devise, that may or may not work, to solve a problem.

Kluge, pronounced Klugee with a hard 'g', is the manufacturer of
automatic printing machinery, finicky as hell and trice as hard to keep
going without problems.

My spell checks has the word.
